Hi Pebbles

"Sticky" refers to "sticky note" that you might use at work (write on it and it will stick to a wall, etc).

so it refers to an important notice that many may find useful or interesting.

WELCOME to the board!

Thanks so much! It was driving me crazy!

In the internet world it also refers to a popular or important post being put up as a "sticky" meaning it always remains at the top of that form. If you look at the top of most forums, you'll will see the "sitcky" posts, they have a "thumb tack" in them. :D
